Greece Company & Beneficial Ownership Directory
Greece company register data is public on the ΓΕΜΗ (Γενικό Εμπορικό Μητρώο, General Commercial Registry). Beneficial ownership sits on a separate filing, the Κεντρικό Μητρώο Πραγματικών Δικαιούχων (Central Register of Beneficial Owners), accessed through gov.gr under Law 4557/2018, at a threshold above 25% of capital or voting rights — and where no individual meets that threshold, senior management such as the CEO is registered as beneficial owner by default. No longer fully: public access was suspended following the EU's Court of Justice ruling of 22 November 2022, and a legitimate-interest access regime now applies instead. Companies must register beneficial owners within 60 days of tax registration or any later change, keeping the filing close to real time.
